I need to delete the Plug-In Container at regular intervals as it simply hogs ALL available memory (300,000 to 600,000 plus). How do I stop the Plug-In Container from running. I have already set the -1 interval in the About:Config, but this does nothing to help with this problem. Please help - this is way past irritating.

You can disable the plugin-container process.

I've asked about this too. As of yesterday Plug in reached 1 gig while FF was at 375,000. Seems FF has every intention of ignoring it. It was a HA fix in the first place and just caused more problems. But your encouraged to upgrade.

I would like to know if there is a way to empty it without shutting down FF

The Plugin container is simply a wrapper for other plugins, such as Flash, Java, quicktime, etc. Make sure you have them all up to date. Even if you turn off the plugin container, it will simply move those plugins into Firefox, thus increasing Firefox's memory usage.
